介绍 :美国华人跨国社团:新家园的社区建设与祖国家乡的经济发展。本项研究关注的是美国华人跨国社团如何影响新家园的社区建设和祖国家乡的经济发展。近25年来,随着大批华人新移民从中国和世界各地移入美国,在美的华人社团也如雨后春笋般地迅速激增。这些新华人社团中有相当一部分跟中国家乡的关系密切,跨过活动频繁。中国政府也努力帮助和促进海外移民社团的发展,致使这些移民社团的跨国规模和影响力不断地扩大。周敏教授以社团为单位、围绕移民社团创建组织的条件和环境,组织的目标、领导和成员的构成,资金的来源,决策与运作的方式以及社团与祖国家乡各级政府和民间机构的联系等等问题,探讨和分析在当代国际移民潮和中国高速经济发展的大背景下的华人跨国社团与祖国和家乡的互动对于家乡经济建设的影响以及对其成员在美国社会融入的影响。

Chinese Americans: The Paradox of the “Perpetual Foreigner” and the “Model Minority”. Within America’s racial hierachy, Chinese Americans occupy an in-between position. They are considered “model minority” for their extraordinary socioeconomic achievements while being simultaneously stereotyped as “forever foreigner” for their look and association with China. This lecture focuses on the issue of race and the prospects of Chinese in America by examining historical and contemporary contexts of international migration and host society’s reception for Chinese Americans and by analyzing ethnic and structural factors on their acculturation and integration. In particular, Professor Min Zhou addresses how Chinese Americans are preceived and positioned in American Society.

Introduction: This book portrays the social, economic, occupational, institutional and associational life of the Chinese in the United States of America. This book aims at giving a summary of the understanding of how the process of acculturation, assimilation and integration operates when persons with distinguishable physical characteristics, bearing a different culture, come into contact with people of European origin. Secondly, to stimulate controversy or agreement as to what the Chinese are truly like, the basis of greter integration may be laid. Thirdly, to put forward the question often being asked, “which of the two ‘homelands’ is meant when discussing China?”. Fourthly, since the couurse of acculturation, assimilation and integration is uneven, how far has each of the subgroups travelled in that direction, and what must be done to help persons who resist effective integration? Is the lack of more effective integration related to the ineffectieness of the present social organization of the Chinatowns and Chinese communities whose leaders are more intent on preserving the status quo than on realistic change? And finally, the similarities and/or differences can be isolated when studying the settlement of immigrants in a new land.

介绍 :1975年越战结束,80年代港台经济腾飞,不不少人挟持资金涌向美国,为华人经济的发展注入了雄厚的资本;尤其是中国改革开放以后,中国经济迅速发展,大批新移民、留学生及资金流入美国,从而改变了华人的社会结构、职业范围、意识观念以及与美国主流社会的关系。华人的刻苦耐劳与聪明才智,在新大陆自由民主、公平竞争的氛围中得到了最大限度的发挥,在各行各业中涌现了无数杰出的精英人物。他们的辉煌成就不但重新塑造了美国华人的形象,纠正了过去某些人的种族偏,而且也雄辩地说明了一个事实:中国的炎黄子孙不但有竞争于世界之林的能力,而且还完全有领导世界潮流的能力!

Introduction:

A tour-de-force by rising indy comics star Gene Yang, American Born Chinese tells the story of three apparently unrelated characters: Jin Wang, who moves to a new neighborhood with his family only to discover that he’s the only Chinese-American student at his new school; the powerful Monkey King, subject of one of the oldest and greatest Chinese fables; and Chin-Kee, a personification of the ultimate negative Chinese stereotype, who is ruining his cousin Danny’s life with his yearly visits. Their lives and stories come together with an unexpected twist in this action-packed modern fable. American Born Chinese is an amazing ride, all the way up to the astonishing climax. American Born Chinese is a 2006 National Book Award Finalist for Young People’s Literature, the winner of the 2007 Eisner Award for Best Graphic Album: New, an Eisner Award nominee for Best Coloring and a 2007 Bank Street – Best Children’s Book of the Year.
